As in the present case, one of the causes of functional TR is AF, which often develops adverse right ventricular remodeling by altering right ventricular compliance, resulting tricuspid annular dilation, and leaflet coaptation defect [7].

Therefore, a decrease in the left arterial contraction could be directly associated with an improvement of the left ventricular compliance. These findings suggested that the increase in cardiac preload could have been caused by the improvement of ventricular compliance after esmolol therapy.
